John 5:41-44

Join us as we journey together to gain a kingdom perspective of the current idols and ideologies of our day. We want to help you grasp a gospel orientation of some of the idols most present in our lives today: self, lust and greed.

We have never seen our own face. We only see our reflection or a picture image of ourselves. The mirror is used to reflect our face back to us. If the mirror is clean, we get a clean image and can see if things need to be cleaned up. If the mirror is stained, the reflection is tainted. In Plan 5 we see how we are called to reflect God’s Glory. When people see me, do they see an accurate reflection of Jesus?

God uses all things—the good, the bad, and the ugly—to tell a more beautiful story. This is true of how He works in our lives, and it’s true of what He does with the Bible. In this Plan, we’re taking a closer look at the weird and wild parts of the Bible to show how God uses all of it for good.

Drawing on James Spencer's book titled Useful to God: Eight Lessons from the Life of D. L. Moody, this Bible Plan examines eight characteristics evident in the Scriptures and in the life of 19th century evangelist Dwight Moody (e.g., surrendered, prayerful, humbled, undistracted, and studious). A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.
